They work whiletraversing and succeed through an innovativecoordinated package consisting in sensors,mechanics and software.Closed-loop temperature compensationThe systems measure differentially i.e. thethickness of the material is calculated from twodisplacement signals. Two sensors are integratedon the upper and lower boom of the O-frameon a mechanical carriage. The thickness of thetarget material is the displacement betweenthe sensors to each other and the amount ofsignals.Offering an efficient cleaning mechanism,high resistance against steam and particles isprovided. Therefore, the devices are ideal forapplications in harsh industrial environments.Furthermore, they offer efficient operation facilitiesdue to large maintenance-free intervals.Thanks to integrated in-situ calibrations whichdo not vary with temperature, they can be alsoapplied under harsh climate environmental conditionse.g. in the rubber processing industry.All sensor technologies applied measure withoutcontact, wear-free and without isotopes orX-rays. This process provides long-term reliablemeasured data while avoiding consequentialcosts.Using a patented closed-loop concept forcompensation of temperature driven parasiticeffects on the mechanics, the thicknessCON-TROL TCP 8301.CT and thicknessCONTROLTCP 8301.CLLT present a revolutionary stabilityin the production.thickness measurement with TCP 8301.TCombination profile8301.CT; vertical cursors showthe points which are used for calender control
